Abstract The experiment would introduce us to 3 concepts, namely, the definition of relative density, the Archimedes principle and the determination of density by the Archimedes principle. In the first activity, we were tasked with finding the density of a cylinder of a known metal; this was done by submersing the cylinder of metal in a measured amount of water and calculating the displaced water against the measured mass of the cylinder. The next activity required us to compute for the…show more content… A 55.8 g of brass metal cylinder was then dipped on the graduated cylinder with water that causes the change in the volume of water that is in the graduated cylinder, 65. 9 cc. The change in the amount of volume can be explained by the Archimedes principle. The Archimedes principle is when an object is immersed in a fluid and is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object or any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid, as of what occurred in the experiment, the water got displaced by the brass metal cylinder. The buoyancy force then does not depend on the weight or shape of the submerged object, but only on the weight of the displaced fluid. If the density of the object is greater than that of the fluid, the object will sink. If the density of the object is equal to that of the fluid, the object will neither sink nor float. If the density of the object is less than that of the fluid, the object will float.
Activity 2 In the second activity, the density of the bone was used in applying the concept of relative density most especially on medical applications. In this activity, the density of the bone was used in determining if a bone is in normal condition (density of 1.8 g/cm3), or abnormal condition, if it has an osteopenia (density of 1.8 – 2.4 g/cm3) or low bone mass and osteoporosis (density of 2.5 g/cm3 and above) or low calcium content. In doing this, the group was assigned to first weigh the bone that was given to

Acknowledgements pg.9 Pg.3 Abstract Purpose: The purpose of my experiment is to measure the densities of different drinks and determine their sugar contents using a calibration curve obtained by plotting the densities for a series of reference solutions verses percent sugar. I experimentally determined the density of each drink and then used the calibration curve graph to determine the percent sugar for the drinks. This will be compared against the information…
Liudmila Belonogov Lab Report I October 29, 2014 Ecology of the Mountain Tom Abstract: During the research we studied the ecosystem of the local forest. For the trees study we used a 100 m^2 plot and shrubs 50m^2 plot. We counted the numbers of trees and shrubs, and its relative density, abundance, importance value in the forest. For the study of the macroinvertebrates and its relative value in the ecosystem we used a plot with circular radius of 40cm. The importance of microorganism and microinvertebrates…
different types of instrumentation that is in the chemist’s tool box. We will stress advantages and disadvantages and develop the insight that is necessary to choose the right tool for the right problem. We will use several of these tools in the laboratory portion of the course. The course can be broken down into several components. 1. 2. 3. 4. brief lectures on a given instrument current literature lab demonstrations/hands-on in small groups lab projects Course Structure: The lectures…

during the day. This physiology is complex, but at a minimum, it tells us that sporadic blood tests to measure GH levels are meaningless since high and low levels alternate throughout the day. But scientists who carefully measure overall GH production report that it rises during childhood, peaks during puberty, and declines from middle age onward. GH acts on many tissues throughout the body. In children and adolescents, it stimulates the growth of bone and cartilage. In people of all ages, GH boosts…
